Year 5 and 6 Camp 2018

Last week we had our annual Year 5 and 6 camp where we camped in tents on the school field. It was a great three days of camping, kayaking, swimming, competing, and working in teams! For many of the year 5s, it was a new experience sleeping in tents and being away from whānau for two nights.

We are all very thankful to our amazing parents and Pt England School whānau who took the time to help out in many ways - pitching tents, cooking, security, a trip to the Māngere pools, trips to the Glen Innes pools and many more 'behind-the-scenes' jobs which happened while we were busy with our camp activities.

Check out our blogs later on this week to see our writing about our experiences at camp!

Mr Burt briefs the 'Pollution Police' before getting into the kayaks.

The amazing Year 8 prefects helped out with teaching the Year 5s and 6s how to kayak.

  14. Kia ora Room 10,
    Camping in a tent is one of my FAVOURITE things to do in summer. I usually camp at the beach and have never had the opportunity to camp on a school field like you have. It must be pretty amazing to camp at school with all of your friends, teachers and whānau. Do you all bring your own tents or does your school have tents? Did you help to put the tents up? Kayaking looked like so much fun, how lucky you are to have a school so close to the water! I am going to check out some of your writing about camp on your individual blogs and see if I can find answers to my questions:-)
    Ngā mihi
